A new study suggests the seismic energy traveled outward from a previously unmapped fault, emanating from the hypocenter in ...

One of the world's most anticipated earthquakes is the next major surface rupture of the Alpine Fault in the South Island of ...

Materials scientists have uncovered a new way to predict material degradation and failure by studying muscovite mica and ...

Similar quakes in the region in the future, a seismologist warned, "could maybe focus energy toward population centers." ...

Some earthquakes are imperceptibly quiet. We may not feel them, but machines might detect them—and they can point scientists to a potential "Big One".

21, 1999, a massive magnitude 7.3 earthquake raised the earth over two meters along one side of the Chelungpu Fault (車籠埔斷層 ..

The sheer size of the fault means it is capable of producing some of the strongest earthquakes in the world. A magnitude 8 or 9 earthquake off the coast could cause widespread devastation.

The discovery of a new fault line may explain the unusually strong and displaced shaking from April’s magnitude 4.8 ...

Materials scientists can now use insight from a very common mineral and well-established earthquake and avalanche statistics ...

When an earthquake happens it typically triggers aftershocks as other neighboring faults adjust to pressures caused by the quake, Rutgers Newark Geology Professor Alexander Gates said. The ...
